The Husband is Required to Provide
Question:

If the wife has a job and she receives a good salary, is it incumbent upon the husband to provide for her? And what will the situation be, if his income is little?
Answer:

It is an obligation upon the husband to provide for his wife, even if she has a good salary, because his providing for her is in return for the pleasure which he gets from her- even though his income may be little, unless the woman is good natured and is indulgent towards her husband regarding provision, then the matter is up to her.
